Pros and Cons

We all have our own unique experience, These are mine.
Pros:
The Staff (specially the maintenance staff): Nothing but professorial and courteous. When there is a service repair they will address it quickly and efficiently. The seasonal lifeguards employed have been chosen well.
The Location: Right off Rt 9 however, traffic is barely audible. Within miles of two Mass Pike entrance, and various shopping centers & restaurants.
The Neighborhood: Can raise a family here as there is a pool for th... View Moree summer days, some real-estate for a picnic and there is a field within walking distance where you can enjoy the time with the family.
The Pool: Lifeguard pays close attention to chemical levels and will even deny entry into the water if they feel it's not at safe levels.
The Units: Fresh painted, cleaned carpets. New energy efficient windows and plenty of daylight in the right units. Walls bordering the hall way are a little hollow and you can hear the stairway but once they go into their units, you can't hear a thing.
Cons:
The Staff: Come with some tough skin when you have to deal with the general manager. Her choice of words can quickly put you on the defensive BUT don't lets one person ruin what IMO has been a great experience.
The Location: Right off Rt 9. The traffic can be atrocious BUT this is New England, and traffic is like that everywhere during rush hours. On the plus side where are many ways to get to the same place do to the location.
The Neighborhood: Not a very friendly neighborhood but I don't believe it's due to the people as much as to the style of place this area is. Two apartment complex and a handful of houses in the area.
The Pool: I don't believe I've ever seen the pool open on "opening day" due to trouble finding a suitable life guard or chemical treatments. I believe this could be rectified by putting a little more effort sometime before the pool goes live. Nothing like having a holiday vacation and not being able to enjoy the amenities provided.
The Units: Feels like cheap materials were used to get the units to look nice for rental. Corners were cut for the sake of time and money. As a result, you could get charged with the repair for someone else bad work. If you move to these units, go through everything with a fine tooth comb, and as soon as something breaks, report it.
All in all, would I recommend this place to you? Yes I would. Would give you more but I've reached the word limit.
